nothing stops you from performing a cold deploy, JBoss is able to reload the deployed .ear or .war file dynamically once you copied the file into deploy directory, this will push the file to deploy reloader. as far as I know this applied to app app servers , you don't need to restart the whole server, its just restating the application itself.

If you deployed your application before and now you want to just redeploy itbecause of a little change, just touch the WEB-INF/web.xml file (open it and make a little change in it and then save it!). then Jboss will redeployyour application.
